You Know Ball: A (Mostly) NBA Podcast

I was joined by the Pound the Rock guys to preview the Sixers Raptors first round series and talk about why the Raptors are such a weird matchup for the Sixers in general. We discussed a whole ton of stuff including how the Raptors turning their season around, the unique ways they slow down Sixers superstar Joel Embiid and whether some regular season elements such as the Sixers foul drawing and the Raptors transition offense will be able to translate to playoff success. Some other things discussed included the coaching mismatch between Nick Nurse and Doc Rivers, why Thybulle's comments on his vaccination status that will make him ineligible to play in Toronto make zero sense and why sophomore rising star Tyrese Maxey could be a huge part of the Sixers offense in this series. We ended the episode by giving our series predictions and talking about whether the winner of this series will beat the Miami Heat and go on to make the conference finals. Enjoy!

It's the most dreadful time of the year, the NBA playoffs! The Sixers are playing the Raptors (again) which I will get into more later this week but before that we had to discuss some general things looming over the team including Thybulle's vaccination status that makes him ineligible to play in nearly half the series, why that makes the Deandre Jordan signing even more of a head scratcher, Doc's too late to adjust style that has us scrambling to figure out the backup center position and which eastern conference playoff path was better for the Sixers chances to win the conference and potentially the finals. We also touched on lineup configurations that include possibly resting Harden and Embiid at the same time? At the end of this episode we marveled at how far Joel Embiid has come in his career and all of the adversity he has faced to become the scoring champion and potential MVP of the league. Some other things we tackled included BBall Paul finally getting some run and Tobias Harris getting some love from a national takes men that he probably did not deserve. Enjoy!

We have seen the movie before Sixers fans! The Sixers cannot figure out how to survive without Joel Embiid on the court and they need to figure it out fast before the playoffs. But hey at least they're shooting a ton of threes now?? Dave Early from Liberty Ballers and Clutch Points App joined me to talk about a lot of things including the weird parallels between the 2018-2019 Sixers and this year's team, Tobias and Maxey becoming more willing three point shooters, and Doc Rivers ruining my life by playing the corpse of Deandre Jordan 10 minutes every night. Next we talked about Doc to the Lakers or Jazz rumors and why he could be the perfect scapegoat (and a justified one) if the Sixers flame out early this year in the playoffs and potential beef between Morey and Doc discovered due to a member of the You Know Ball Discord. Then we discussed the first thoughts of doubt creeping into my brain about James Harden due to his passive play and potentially declining skillset and wonder if the Sixers are having buyers remorse or whether I am just panicking over a few bad games. We also talked about why the Brooklyn matchup doesn't seem as concerning for the Celtics, Sixers and Bucks as it did a few weeks ago ... Finally we closed out the episode ranking my Dreams and Nightmares scenarios for the Sixers in this year's playoffs. Enjoy!

Up top I solo ranted about Sixes head coach Doc Rivers post game comments, the end of the James Harden honeymoon, the Sixers recent loss to the Detroit Pistons and what it really says about the team. Next I was joined by Clippers writer and podcaster Rob Flom to talk about what feels like the beginning of the end for Doc Rivers as Sixers head coach following the team's loss to the Bucks where Joel Embiid questioned his rotational decisions. We also talked about Big Wos' from the Ringer's comments from an anonymous Sixers player who told him some not great things about the team and Doc losing the locker room. Next we talked about another massive collapse by the Jazz vs. the Clippers and the 3-5 NBA teams who are most likely to blow it up after this season. We finished the episode talking about our contender tiers in the Western Conference and revisited our pre-season award predictions, some of which we might have actually got right! Enjoy.

We mostly laughed at the Miami Heat for this entire episode for their fraudulent basketball team and culture as they fall rapidly down the Eastern Conference standing. We also discussed the future of their "star" Jimmy Butler who may be forcing his way out of his fourth NBA team after trying to fight his coach. After the Heat pack session we discussed the Eastern Conference race for the one seed including some talk about the Bucks, Celtics, Nets and of course the Sixers. We then discussed who we think will come out of the Western Conference including the Suns, Grizzles, Warriors, and the Lakers fighting to keep their play-in spot lol. We finished the episode talking about the stupidity of All NBA voting and why one of Jokic or Embiid being left off first team is extremely stupid before picking our first, second and third all NBA teams.

We discussed many things including the frustration of not seeing the Sixers young back up centers get a chance over washed Deandre Jordan, Thybulle and Tobias never being good during the same game, Kevin Durant calling Joel Embiid the MVP of the NBA this season. Next we discussed the top 2022 NBA Draft prospects who are currently playing in the NCAA tournament including Chet Holmgren, the most polarizing top draft prospect in years.

I was joined by my Twitter friend @TheEMart to talk about the Sixers embarrassing loss in Ben Simmons "return" to Philadelphia. We discussed the atmosphere around the city and the game and how it might have distracted everyone from the task at hand. We then went in depth on Harden's first bad game with the Sixers and talked about why it isn't the end of the world but still is somewhat concerning due to his spotty track record in some big games. Other topics included the Sixers defensive issues against jump shooting teams like the Nets, why they are still in a good position despite one game, the team coming out flat in big games during Doc Rivers era, and why this wake up call might be necessary before the playoffs. We finished off the episode talking about which teams the Sixers could face in the first and second round, a new playoff format that could create some added drama and E-Mart gave us his master plan to fix the NBA.

Matt aka @PanasonicDx4500 returned to discuss the latest in Sixers, Slop and plenty of sidebars about random shit. Up top we talked about the rumor brought up by trusted NBA insider Andrew Bogut about Bradley Beal leaving the Washington Wizards this offseason for the Sixers and why the Sixers shouldn't think twice about it if it is true. Next we discussed the last two games of the Sixers season, one against the Miami Heat that never actually happened, and another against the Chicago Bulls that definitely did happen. We also talked about the Sixers casual dominance with James Harden as they extended their record to 5-0 when he plays. Also role players and why they don't matter as much anymore! We finished off the episode talking about Embiid in the MVP race vs. Jokic and Ben Simmons making his return to Philadelphia on Thursday by .. sitting on the bench? Enjoy.

Steve Lipman from The Gastroenteritis Blues podcast and Liberty Ballers joined the podcast to talk the undefeated James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid era Philadelphia 76ers. We discussed Maxey's insane star leap breakout playing off James Harden and why he has exceeded even our wildest expectations in year two. Next we talked about not feeling bad about the Sixers even when they are trailing by double digits for the first time .. ever? Of course we discussed the never-ending Tobias Harris issue and how it is starting to even visibly frustrate his superstar teammates. We also discussed the Deandre Jordan officially becoming a Sixer, the history of buyout signings, Paul Milsap needing to be out of the rotation entirely, Georges Niang becoming a Sixers role player legend, and whether the Sixers defense is a real problem. We finish the episode discussing our old friend Ben Simmons who has yet to play a game for the Brooklyn Nets.

My old friend and podcast co-host Jayson Buford from music blogs such as Pitchfork, GQ, Rolling Stone and the Knicks blog Posting and Toasting joined me to discuss all things Sixers, Eastern Conference and Knicks. We discussed the first game of the Sixers-Knicks home and home series and why the new look Sixers are going to be extremely hard to stop. We tried to figure out if Harden and Embiid are the best duo in the NBA right now and the results might surprise you!! Other topics included: Maxey thriving and Tobias struggling to adapt, the Sixers pursuit of an extremely washed Deandre Jordan, the real contenders and pretenders in the Eastern Conference and a slight rant on the media coverage of the below average Lakers. To end the episode, Jayson told me why he is out on Thibs as a coach and we discussed the possibility of Zion Williamson heading to the Knicks. SUBSCRIBE TO YOU KNOW BALL ON YOUTUBE HERE!

We also talked about reduced pressure on Doc’s all-bench lineups, the continued struggles of Danny Green, and Tobias Harris adjusting to his new role and improving his play. Lastly, we talked at length about all of the ways Harden will improve the Sixers and line-up options that will maximize our chances to win a championship.

On this episode I was joined by Draft Twitter friend and podcast host Chuck aka @ChuckingDarts as we revisited the 2013 NBA draft AKA the Giannis Draft but more importantly the first ever draft of the Process Sixers era. This will be the first edition of the ongoing series called the Reslopables where I review old drafts, free agency periods, and trade deadlines and look at how they shaped the NBA. We talked about everything surrounding this draft including why this draft was thought to be so weak at the time, the lack of a true consensus number one overall pick and some draft takes that aged like milk and some others that aged like fine wine. And of course we touched on how half of the league, including some risk taking general managers, missed out on Giannis Antetokounmpo who went on to become one of the greatest players of all time. We ended the episode by redrafting the lottery. All of this with the benefit of hindsight bias. Enjoy!

Friend of the pod Jimmy McCormick (ESPN Fantasy) joins us this week to recap the Sixers embarrassing loss to the Celtics and the big win over the Bucks. We also analyze Morey’s trade media appearances following the Harden trade and his mysterious “buyout imminent” comment, Zach Lowe’s Harden trade conspiracy theory, and Harris and Thybulle’s offensive roles on the Embiid-Harden Sixers. Finally, we speculate over Doc River’s importance as a coach and whether he actually matters now, and who we would do and don’t want to see the Sixers play in the playoffs.

Twitter friend @ChillStableGuy aka Jack returned to the podcast to discuss the fall out from the Ben Simmons for James Harden trade. We discussed the insane media reaction to the trade, the narrative that the Nets actually won the trade and why the media cannot have a single rational thought about James Harden. We also discussed not having to worry about Ben Simmons anymore and why the Sixers defense might be a bigger concern than their offense for once. We ended the episode wondering if this trade means the end of the process.

He is now 100 percent untouchable. Bryan Toporek from Bleacher Report joined me to talk about a ton of stuff including the weird Sixers week both on and off the court. We talked Maxey's upside and why he will probably be nearly untouchable in any Ben Simmons trade. We also talked about the upside and also the potential disastrous downside of Ben Simmons returning to the Sixers. We then talked about the latest trade slop regarding James Harden, Bradley Beal and what other smaller moves could be made in a week at the trade deadline. Plus will the Sixers try to dodge the tax and ruin my life even more? Enjoy!

Once we hit that we will upload the episodes right after recording. Tim Forkin from the Hoopla Network joined me to discuss Former Future Sixer Tyrese Haliburton nearly beating the Sixers by himself and why the Kings might be out on a Ben Simmons trade after months of trade talks. We ran through some fake trades including ideas Tim has for his Detroit Pistons involving former Sixer Jerami Grant and of course a few around Ben Simmons. We then talked about the latest in the James Harden saga that will now be taking over my life until at least the summer it appears. We also discussed the worst episode in the Ringer's "NBA Group Chat" history in which the hosts slander Tyrese Maxey and just make stuff up.

For the first You Know Ball live video podcast I had on recurring guest Nihilist Bucks (AKA NBA insider Craigory Smith) for some fresh hot trade slop. First Craigory told us about a big name NBA player who could possibly be available before the trade deadline! It's pretty shocking. Next we discussed the latest Ben Simmons rumors (kill me) and the potential for a James Harden sign and trade this summer? After that we ran through some other hot trade rumors about the Los Angeles Lakers (Westbrook for Wall 2.0?) Houston Rockets (Eric Gordon, Christian Wood), Boston Celtics (Marcus Smart, Al Horford), Washington Wizards (Spencer Dinwiddie) and more.

BUT FIRST, MORE SLOP UP TOP. We dissected Daryl Morey's interview on Mikey Miss and talked about a few things that he could be hinting at as far as trade targets on the Kings, Hawks and maybe one other team/player that could be involved. Most importantly we tried to figure out who is the "top 40" player that Morey is talking about? We also touched on a report by our guy Keith Pompey, Jason Dumas' appearance on Si6 where he spilled some more information including one heavily discussed player who the Sixers are 100 percent not interested in. Next we talked about Embiid's dominant performance against the Orlando Magic and why he could be the MVP of the league despite the calculator boys crying about this. We discussed how he stacks up against Jokic and Giannis and why the narrative is so important for the award. Plus, where does Embiid rank amongst Sixers players of the last 35 years? Lastly we gave Seth Curry his flowers because he his in the middle of the best season of his career and the tide amongst Sixers fans seems to be turning against him for some reason.

Another week, another slopfest. But first, the Blue Chew Review of the Week. Next on this episode we had on Brenden Nunes of the Kings Herald, Kings Pulse Podcast and the Sacramento Bee to talk about a possible Ben Simmons (and Tobias Harris?) deal to the Kings. We discussed every aspect of why a deal could happen and why the Kings and Sixers demands in negotiations could prove to be too much for the other side. Would the Kings let a deal fall through because they are unwilling to move Tyrese Haliburton? Will the salary matching be too difficult? Would Ben automatically become a top 3 all time Sacramento King? I also made the argument for why I think this is a perfect destination for Ben despite the fact that he wanted to play for the other California teams. Finally we wrapped up the episode talking about a few other trade targets for the Kings that could move the needle.

Marty Teller (@MWTeller) finally returned to the podcast to talk about all the latest rumors surrounding Ben Simmons and the Sixers. We talked about a ton of stuff including: Hawks wing/big John Collins to the Sixers, where local and national insiders are getting their information from during the Ben Simmons saga, and Tobias Harris possibly being on the move in addition to Ben. Marty gave us one important insight from his sit down lunch with Sixers POBO Daryl Morey that might show you how the Sixers are approaching this season and team building around Joel Embiid in general. We also dove into the concept of the Sixers taking upside swings on young talent like Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton, Hawks wing Cam Reddish and another young player that Marty thinks could be available at the trade deadline. Trill gave his list of “former stars” that could have a career resurgence with the Sixers similar to Demar Derozan’s return to relevance with the number one seed Chicago Bulls. Finally we gave our prediction on what we think happens at the trade deadline. Will this ever end? ENJOY.

Matt aka @PanasonicDX4500 and I talked about everything going on with the Sixers and a ton of other random sidebars. Topics included Jason Dumas’ latest Ben Simmons report, the Kings possibly being open to moving De’Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton, the undefeated Dan Burke era, the Sixers five game winning streak, Joel Embiid being dominant again, Tobias vs. Sixers fans and way more shit I couldn’t fit in here.

Andrew Unterberger (@AUGetOffMyGold) from the Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast joined me for a positive conversation where we talked about all the good things with the Sixers like adult human beings with normal brains. First we talked about not living and dying with every regular season game like it’s life or death this year and how we should do this more often! Then we talked about some things we saw from the Sixers inspiring wins against the Celtics, the crushing loss against the hospital Hawks, a dominating victory against the Wizards and …. Basically the Sixers need to shoot more threes than long twos imo. After years of being the anti Tobias guy AU actually defended Tobias and his performance this year? We ended the podcast talking about a bunch of silver linings that the Sixers can take from this weird long covid season. Once again sorry for the audio Enjoy!

Steve Lipman (@SteveJLipman) from Liberty Ballers and the Gastroenteritis Blues podcast is back on to remind us that time is a flat circle and Ben Simmons is still a Sixer. We reviewed Daryl Morey’s first year as Sixers GM where he made some good moves, some “almost” moves that drive us nuts, while also providing a lack of creativity and possibly overvaluing Ben Simmons’ trade value. Next we dove into the mysterious case of the December 15th Woj Bomb that came and went with no explanation. We also gave our opinions (that constantly change every week) on Kings guard De'Aaron Fox coming to Philadelphia in a trade after Brian Windhorst said he’s available. We also discussed the return of Kyrie Irving which destroyed Trill’s conspiracy theory from last week’s podcast. Lastly we touched on Bill Simmons “apology” for the infamous racist Joel Embiid impression by Jackie Mac that Trill posted to Twitter. Keep in mind we recorded this on Monday before Joel Embiid destroyed Freedom and the Celtics.

Derek Bodner (@DerekBodnerNBA) joins us this week to discuss his fantastic newsletter The Daily Six, his departure from The Athletic, Matisse Thybulle's awkward fit, and the uphill battle of building a championship caliber team around Joel Embiid. In the second half of the episode Derek responded to some listener questions from the You Know Ball Discord and offered some insight into the front office of the team.

THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IS HERE ... and it probably means nothing. Cliff aka @_YoCliff from the SI6 podcast returns! To start this episode we talked about some conspiracy brain shit inspired by Woj and Zach Lowe's Ben Simmons trade report from Friday. Specifically focused on why Woj used the term "top 25" player in the report. We also asked why does one star NBA player's name keep popping up in reports this week after no news for months? Could it be connected?? Am I losing my mind? Yes. We then bounced all around because I have severe ADHD and talked everything from the Sixers win over the Warriors, a crushing loss to the Grizzles, Tobias being awful to watch, the NBA being wide open, Doc Rivers driving us insane and more. I also asked Cliff if he would trade Tobias Harris for some NBA players that no one seems to want right now.

Mark Schindler (@MSchindlerNBA) from Basketball News, Indy Cornrows and more returns this week to talk about the Indiana Pacers’ “reset” and how possible trades involving Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, and Caris LeVert could shake up the NBA trade market and potentially effect the Sixers. We also touched on the Blazers falling apart, De'Aaron Fox vs Tyrese Maxey, the hierarchy of the Eastern Conference, Bradley Beal saying some more vague shit about his commitments to the Washington Wizards and everyone’s favorite CIA PSYOP Enes Freedom. Keep in mind this episode was recorded before the Sixers vs the Utah Jazz game that happened on Thursday night. And yes I might have jinxed Joel Embiid at some point. Enjoy!

Damian Lillard is a LOSER, Folks - Very Sad! (Feat. @Nihilist_Bucks) Friend of the pod Nihilist Bucks returns to talk about Dame’s desire to play with “playoff assassin” Ben Simmons. We discussed the ins and outs of the CJ McCollum for Ben trade and why it might be harder to pull off than you think. We then discussed who should be buyers and sellers at the trade deadline, and we revisit our hot takes from Nihilist Bucks’ last appearance on the pod.

Dave Early (@DavidEarly) from ClutchPoints App and Liberty Ballers returned to discuss all things Sixers related including this past week from hell! First I ranted about Celtics Center Enes Kanter “Freedom” being the lamest man alive. We also talked Dave’s article about the Sixers missing Ben Simmons, why the team just isn’t clicking right now, why it might be time to move from Tobias Harris and recent reports about Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker and how they could relate to the Sixers.

This episode I was joined by returning guests Austin Krell (@NBAKrell) and Eric Marturano (@TheEMart) to discuss the latest games from the Sixers including the very weird and frustrating double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Topics included some of the greatest hits including the Sixers lack of a closer, Doc Rivers weird lineup choices and the need to figure out flexibility at the backup center position before the playoffs. We also touched on D’Angelo Russell being annoying, the report that Ben Simmons is broke and might rejoin the team, Jaden Springer balling out in the G-League and Austin’s controversial opinions on which players he would take back in a Ben Simmons trade. Including some very hot takes! Enjoy.

In this episode Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Bleacher Report and the NBA Pod returned to talk about how the Sixers can build a title team around Joel Embiid (and Tyrese Maxey of course) and why I think it feels more possible than it did before the season. We discussed Bryan's article on Maxey's ascent as the Sixers starting point guard and how that helps the Sixers have more flexibility in a potential Ben Simmons trade. We then addressed the Jerami Grant for Ben Simmons rumors and talked about the weird fit with Joel Embiid that ball dominant scoring wings like Jerami Grant and Tobias Harris create. Next we guessed the 30 players on Daryl Morey’s Ben Simmons trade list and talked about who is definitely on there, who is definitely not on there and who could MAYBE be on there. I cannot believe we are still doing this shit lmao. Lastly we touched on why we think the Sixers might be closer to contending since the Eastern conference appears to be wide open this season.

Frequent guest Mike Chiodo returned to the podcast to talk about the Sixers recent five game losing streak which sucks but also doesn't really mean anything in the big picture. We then bounced around the league to check in on the teams that could potentially be interested in a Ben Simmons trade. We mainly talked about the teams falling apart like the Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans and Portland Trail Blazers. We discussed what it would take to make a trade work for all sides involved. Enjoy! As I mentioned in the intro of this episode we are doing our first LIVE PODCAST! Join us on Thursday, November 18 when we will be live streaming from the Henry James Saloon in Roxborough (across the street from Dalessandros) during Sixers-Nuggets beginning at 9 pm. This event is free to get in and you can hang with us during the game as we drink beers, eat wings and talk everything related to the team we love/hate the most.

TYRESE MAXEY IS A STAR ... Or at least he will be. The Sixers are losing and it doesn't matter because Tyrese Maxey Better Sadly. This episode Ben Pfeifer formerly of the Prep2Pro NBA Draft Podcast joined me to talk about the ascent of second year Sixers point guard Tyrese Maxey. Ben was the one who introduced me to Maxey via his podcast in September 2020 so I wanted to get his insight on how he has improved and what his ceiling could be as a player. We also talked about Sixers prospects Jaden Springer, Isaiah Joe, answered some questions from the You Know Ball discord and I asked Ben about some of his favorite prospects from the 2022 NBA Draft that the Sixers could target in the mid to late first round.

On this two part episode my friend from Celtics Twitter Turn aka @SaiiorTurnee joined me to discuss a whole lot of stuff but most importantly, the Shams Charania report that the Sixers have engaged with the Celtics on Ben Simmons trade talks that could possibly (but probably not) include Jaylen Brown?

Dave Early from Liberty Ballers and ClutchPointsApp returns to the podcast to discuss the Sixers (who are back and I never doubted BTW) impressive wins over the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trailblazers. We touched on the massive improvements from the bench, Sixers young guys developing and the almighty BALL MOVEMENT. Next we touched on how the Sixers face an uphill battle when it comes to rebuilding themselves into legitmate contenders. Lastly we bounced around the Eastern Conference and gave our thoughts on the surging Heat and Bulls, the non invincible Brooklyn Nets and the crumbling Celtics. Enjoy!

On this episode I am joined by Sixers Twitter friend @RansomCozzillio to discuss the Sixers weirdly disappointing 3-2 start to the season following another near collapse vs. the winless Detroit Pistons at home. All the depressing stuff that has happened to start the season had us thinking ... what if the Sixers just pulled off a sneak tank instead of killing their franchise player for a mid tier playoff seed and a likely first or second round exit? We are clearly doing so well mentally. We talked about the history of sneak tanking in the NBA, the highs and lows of pulling off a sneak tank, and how hard it would actually be to convince Morey, Doc and Embiid to actually go through with it .... but this is my podcast where I create my own reality so please just hang with me through this ridiculous fan fiction.

On this episode I opened by ranting about the Sixers second embarrassing loss of the season, this time against the New York Knicks. I touched on Embiid playing through injury and the Ben Simmons haters/stans. Hang with me as I just let the thoughts flow baby. Next me and @Nihilist_Bucks spit some hot takes about the first week of the NBA season. They’re over the top and absurd but deep down we really believe them at least a little bit. We talked about the Lakers, Thunder, Pacers (?), Heat, Nets, Bucks, Raptors and Sixers. Also can’t wait until everyone clips these in a month and we sound like total idiots. Some already aged poorly!
